You might try a smaller mortgage bank that will do a portfolio loan. Bankers Trust is IA based and has offices locally. I recently had a meeting with on of their loan officers there & I recall him telling me that they could do them. Call me at 602-810-1750 and I can forward you his details.... more

Great choice for a second home. Market here is good, just heard a talk by our local R.E specialist from the ASU business school. He said after Jan 1 we should expect a very fast pace for buying and rising prices. Call if you would like more info on available condos now. 480 510-0510.... more

Hi Andrea,
You will love Scottsdale. It has everything the SouthWest could ask for and more.
Excellent schools, fantastic shopping, resort-like atmosphere. You will fee like you're on
vacation 365 days of the sunshine year! I am a native of the valley and have seen it grow
tremendously. I have been in most of the nooks and crannies. We have beautiful new
subdivsions and land for those that want more space.

Hi Andrea, congrats on making the move to AZ ! Leave all your jackets behind ! I would love to send you and your husband some properties that are both for rent and for sale. Please send me an email to jeff@iGoUrban.com.

A cosigner guarantees the lender that if the primary borrower does not make payments, the cosigner will assume the loan obligations and make payments on it.
Did you fill out an application for that Association? Did you ever live in that communnity?

If they do not have any information on you, you still have a chance to denied payments.

You will love Arizona, we moved from Iowa 14 years ago and love it. Still visit Iowa on a frequent basis to see family and friends but have never had to shovel the heat and like that a bunch! HA

You have chosen 3 good communities that are well liked and respected. The price points might be the biggest difference you see with Scottsdale pricing be notably higher than Chandler/Gilbert.

We have lived in Chandler and Gilbert and enjoy both communities.

We might want to discuss what you like to do for fun? Will you be working? Commute time? How much house do you want or need? How much do you want to spend for that? Financing or cash? One of my favorite lenders is a guy from Illinois.

Hi Judy and Bruno. I would love to help you find a home in Scottsdale. Lets start by letting me know what you are looking for. Give me some information about what you like to do, where you work, are schools important, etc. Then to proceed further I will need you to be pre-qualified by a lender.

You can contact me at joelpayne1@gmail.com. I look forward to helping you.

Hi first-timer, its best to have something in writing from your husband that states he relinquishes all ownership in any home purchase you may make. If you are separated maybe you can get this in writing via your husbands attorney ?... more

Tim, I can do some analytics for you since I have some time on my hands right now. Are you thinking of buying or selling? I sold and showed several in that complex. Prices can vary depending on location and other details like, some units have 1 car garages, others 2, some have golf course views, some are closer to the pool, some closer to the roadside and so on.

Send me an e mail and I'll get the analysis to you for market statistics.

It doesn't look live the asking prices are lower. The sold/closed have ranged recently for the 1970 sf home between $205 - $275K, the pending is $249 and $285K, the active is listed between $225 - $385K (all the 1970 SF).

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Brenda

This anxiety issue is a issue in many schools. Many of the Scottsdale schools teachers are trained to handle this issue. I would sit down with the principle and discuss your needs. Do not rule out CAVE CREEK SCHOOL DIST either. Horseshoe trails and Desert Sun are on the border of SCOTTSDALE and are FANTASTIC.... more
